TRANSFER CREDIT Doctoral students may transfer up to 30 semester hours of applicable graduate-level courses in psychology (9 of these may be applied to master's-level courses) and/or up to 14 hours of theology and Bible applicable to Rosemead's program (9 of these may be applied to master's-level courses) from an accredited graduate school or theological seminary. Graduate courses with grades of "B" or above at accredited institutions are considered as acceptable on a transfer basis. Practicum credit 1n the amount equal to one Rosemead practicum of three hours may be transferred by Psy.D. students after completion of Rosemead's practicum prerequisites. These hours will be counted toward the 30 hour transfer maximum. Practicum transfer credit will be granted only when it is shown as practicum on an official graduate transcript. Ph.D students are required to take all 12 practicum hours while in residency. Rosemead will not evaluate non-traditional learning or non-transcripted work experience for academic or practicum credit. When students wish to use transfer credit for a required course in the Rosemead curriculum, it is their responsibility to provide documen tation assuring the equivalency of course content. Competency examinations may be given to verify equivalence to Rosemead required courses. Documentation may include catalog descriptions, syllabi and other supporting materials from the professor of record or department, as deemed necessary. THEOLOGY REDUCTION Students entering Rosemead with a minimum of 30 undergraduate units of Bible and/or Theology from accredited Christian colleges or universities are eligible for a reduction of up to 8 units of required Theology courses. To qualify for this reduction students must have earned no lower than a "B-" rade in the undergraduate course work. Content of the undergraduate courses must be compatible with the Theology course(s) being waived. Reduction units will be determined by the Registrar's Office in consultation with Rosemead's Admissions and Academic Qualifications Committee.
